John, John
Why have you gone
Far from the arms that held you tenderly?
John, John
I can't go on
I'm so lost without you

Blue, blue
Blues were your eyes
Blue as the heavens above
But they were untrue to
Telling me lies
Swearing you never would stray

John, John
Why have you gone
Far from the arms that held you tenderly?
John, John
I can't go on
I'm so lost without you

Green, green
Green was her gown
Green as the great willow true
Like some devil queen, queen
She rodе to town
Taking my lover away

[Chorus]
John, John
Why have you gone
Far from thе arms that held you tenderly?
John, John
I can't go on
I'm so lost without you

Grey, grey
Grey are my days
Filled with the memory of lips
On my lips I'll pray, pray
Oh, how I'll pray
Till you return to me

John, John
Why have you gone
Far from the arms that held you tenderly?
John, John
I can't go on
I'm so lost without you

John, John
Why have you gone
Far from the arms that held you tenderly?
John, John
I can't go on
